is an industry that is A, a numbers game, and B, competitive.

Now you can pretend to have this different version of success and you can get there in the end.

But the point being that there are a million different tools in place to pull you to the other side.

It genuinely shouldn't matter where my album charts.

Let's just say like the UK, for example, where my album charts in the UK.

It shouldn't really matter that much to me, but it does.

I've not quite got there yet.

And I think the irony is I just started to get there on the last record.

And the last record, obviously, high class problem, I get that, went to number one.

And then all of a sudden I'm like, obviously I want it again now.

So I started to have the answer for what the new thing of success looks like until I succeeded.

I superseded my own idea of success.

And then I'm like, ooh.

Well, then the barriers just change.

And then you're basically just playing the same game you were before.

Where are you in your journey of happiness?

Like if you had to plot your life on a timeline of like, you know... Oh, I like that because I normally thought about it like this.

It makes me feel good.

It feels like I'm on the home straight.

Okay, nice.
